Dating: What Underwear Do You Like Best On A Guy?

I'm wearing my bad underwear today, and it's kind of ruining things. For reasons I will explain later, I have several pairs of very uncomfortable boxer briefs, which, for reasons of laziness or parsimony I simply refuse to get rid of. Why would I ever buy underwear I hate? Keep reading.

Like anyone, I get busy. Not in the way the Fresh Prince used to say it—that would be "getting bizzy," not to be confused with the similarly pronounced Busy Phillips, who was in Freaks and Geeks—in the way where I have deadlines and meetings and I can't get everything done that I need to get done.

Today wasn't one of those days. Today I had time to make my favorite Chinese dish, Saang Choy Bao, seen marinating below. But on other days, I am too busy to even stop for a coffee, never mind shop for underwear. Which led me to the Internet.

A few weeks ago, during such a busy period, which coincided with a laundry delay and a lack of clean underwear, I decided that I would just buy some new underwear on the Internet. Now this should have been easy; I've worn the same brand since I was a teenager: Calvin Klein boxer briefs, size small.

Yet, either because I was not paying attention, or because of some misleading advertising, I managed to buy they wrong underwear. They are boxer briefs, but the legs go down almost to my knees. They are essentially long underwear. Because time, or lack thereof, was the reason I bought them (4 pairs) in the first place, I wasn't about to walk to the post office, box them, and send them back.
